What should I do if my child has a fever while sleeping at night?

Spring and winter are the peak seasons for children to catch colds and fevers. If parents do not pay more attention to their children's care during this period, it will easily cause the children to catch a cold and fever. If a child has a cold and fever, the child needs to take some antipyretic drugs in time. At this stage, the child also needs to be given some more clothes. So what should be done if a child has a fever at night?

Parents will rush to use antibiotics in the early stages of viral infection. If there is a concurrent bacterial infection, such as exudative tonsillitis and suppurative otitis media, doctors will use antibiotics for treatment depending on the specific circumstances. If a child has a fever, you can take appropriate antipyretic measures under the guidance of a doctor, but do not use large doses of antipyretics to avoid a sudden drop in body temperature and collapse. If the child's cough is severe and affects his diet and sleep, he can take cough suppressants under the guidance of a doctor.

Because children are too young and cannot express themselves fully, some parents become anxious and angry. When a child is sick, parents should first stay awake and understand the cause of the disease. Pay attention to the room temperature and make sure your child drinks enough fluids. Many children with respiratory tract infections often have gastrointestinal dysfunction and reduced digestive enzymes. Children should eat light, fresh, and easily digestible food to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.

Parents should take their children to do more outdoor sports to strengthen their children's physical fitness and increase their immunity. It is important to note that children should not do overly strenuous exercise. You can accompany your children in activities such as jogging, cycling, and skipping rope. When going out for exercise in winter, children should be given more clothes to ensure their safety.

Note: Ensure the hygiene of the environment in which the child grows, ensure that the child has enough sleep every day, and encourage the child to drink more warm water to promote metabolism. When a child shows symptoms, antipyretic treatment is required. You can apply a cold towel to the child's forehead, or use physical methods such as a warm bath to assist in cooling down.

If your baby has a high fever, you must take him to the hospital for treatment, because a high fever without timely treatment will cause great harm to the child's body. In severe cases, some other complications may occur. If the body temperature is not very high, you can give the child some antipyretic medicine, and you also need to pay more attention to the child's diet.
